Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me. Maya Angelou

I watched it too!! He is so lovely! I am shocked he used to be over weight i would have never thought it. Shocking to see them teenagers so over weight and depressed and i know how they feel being so over weight myself and only being 22. If only the CD worked for everyone or everyone could afford it. Diets like this should be put on the NHS so more people could give it ago instead of having to go under the knife. Its such a shame. But yeah gok wan is a star hehe!! xx

There is actually an NHS version being tested out. My cousins mother in law is a nurse and got her on the trial. Although on the NHS they take a biopsy from your stomach and bloods before and after you start to test fat levels. They also give you insulin injections in your stomach too! Lovely! She did really well though and lost about 4-5 stone.

7th GOAL: Get under 14st!
8th GOAL: Get under 13st 7lb!
9th GOAL: Get under 13st!
10th GOAL: Get under 12st 7lb!
11th GOAL: Get under 12st!
12th GOAL: Get under 12st!
FINAL GOAL: Reach 11st 7lb (161lb)

Sounds delightful Just out of interest, what's the diet called? Is it the Success Diet or something like that?

Hey KD I think you may be right on the name. It's just the same as Cambridge (Apart from the yucky biopsy and insulin injections:jelous I think my cousin was 1 in about 20 on trial in her area. She lost alot of weight, but had a habit of not eating all of her packs and fainting. Unfortunately I think all the weight has crept back on but I'm not sure there was any kind of maintenance plan

I love Gok Wan too, I thought out of all the many 'diet programmes' about at the moment his was an excellent one with lots of information and a feeling that he really understood the pain those teenagers were feeling ..
